Cloud Cost Review

Core Workflow

1. Identify provider, services, environments, workloads, usage drivers, and billing owner.
2. Review cost drivers: compute, storage, database, bandwidth, logs, traces, build minutes, queues, backups, and managed services.
3. Flag unbounded scale, duplicate environments, retention risk, over-provision settings, and missing budgets or alerts.
4. Recommend right-sizing, retention limits, scheduling, caching, quotas, and budget guardrails.
5. Separate rough estimates from verified billing data.
6. Include monitoring and review cadence.
